As the holiday season kicks into high gear, law enforcement is going to be on alert for impaired drivers, per usual. This past weekend is an indicator of why this is so, as four Washington State patrol cars were struck by three suspected impaired drivers. One was on Highway 516 when a car rolled into an intersection and the trooper moved his vehicle in front of the car to stop it. The other 3 crashes occurred in Tukwila while officers were investigating a hit and run. These types of incidents often increase during the holiday season, as folks celebrate with family, friends and coworkers. Be safe out there and do your best to use a taxi, uber or Lyft if you feel you have consumed too much to safely operate a motor vehicle.
